Redditor fine-tunes SDXL on 60 childhood photos to simulate memory recall
uisato · reddit · 2026-09-04
Reddit user uisato fine-tuned SDXL on 60 childhood family photos as a speculative study: instead of faithfully reconstructing images, the model produces unstable variations of spaces, faces and fragments that feel familiar but never existed — treating generative hallucination as an analogue for episodic memory as a reconstructive process.
The author stresses it's not "just a prompt": the pipeline combines Kohya fine-tuning, an audio-reactive geometry system built in TouchDesigner, and a custom rebuild of WarpFusion to interweave the geometries with the fine-tuned model, finished in Premiere, After Effects and Ableton Live.
Project files and tutorials are promised via the author's YouTube, Instagram and Patreon.
